pan while moving mouse after cancelling selection box

[eelik]

1. Check "pan while moving object" in preferences.
2. Start drawing a selection box with left mouse button down.
3. While still drawing (button down), press Esc to cancel.
4. Release the mouse button, move mouse outside the view area.

It pans even though nothing is moved or even selected.

A remedy is to make a new selection box.

Is this in pcbnew or eeschema?

[eelik (eelik)]

I didn't even know there was such option in eeschema :) But it happens in pcbnew, both with board and footprint editor. And while I'm at it, I tested in Linux, too:

Does this happen in the modern canvas, legacy or both?

[eelik (eelik)]

It seems to be only in modern.

I encountered similar inconsistency regarding the auto pan feature with other tools (not yet reported as bug; just discovered last night).

The cause is that pcbnew/tools/selection_tool.cpp:557 SELECTION_TOOL::selectMultiple()
doesn't call setAutoPan(false) when breaking out of the while because of a cancel. See attached patch.

NB: There's also a selectMultiple in gerbview/tools/... with possibly the same issue. Sorry I didn't investigate.
